Regulations restricting UK travel companies charging adult prices for under 18s

What the petition asks
15-17 year olds are charged 'adult' train fares by travel companies across the UK, despite being legally classified as minors. We are paid less than over 18s for doing exactly the same jobs, yet are expected to pay the same ludicrous travel fares. Regulations should be put in place to prevent this.
This campaign was set up by Fare Travel UK, a student pressure group established in 2016 at the College of Richard Collyer.
